And I'm high as a frickin' kite lol. Thank goodness for Dilaudid

No nausea, none! I walk every three hours, breathe into a tool once an hour, breathing exercises in between. Pee pretty good, and then I feel like I was kicked by a ninja on my solar plexus.

Gotta love the gas they pump into ya!

But the staff have has been so so incredibly amazing. Everybody is so kind at the Desert Springs Medical Center. They look after me and think I'm pretty amazing due to my high spirits, though I ache like a mofo.

My head hurts from the drugs too.

I've managed all my chicken broth, lots of water, half a Jell-O cup. Not bad.

I can't wait to go home tomorrow and sleep in my own bed. I can't wait to start losing more weight. So many "I can't waits."

This will be the hardest and easiest thing I've ever done on my life, funny how that works.

Update:

Feeling really strong now, was able to make my bed, do two laps around hospital floor, bathe myself with towelettes effortlessly.

I feel very energetic, wondering how normal that is, to feel so happy and active when I see others looking so glum and miserable. Poor things, I can understand it though.

Not tired at all, even when taking dilaudid. When the drug wears off, minimal pain. I was so concerned I worried he didn't give me the sleeve, but found out he indeed did lol

Signing off,

Yay! That's wonderful!

Uh oh! Pain meds must've been doing more than you thought. Just take it easy & don't over do it. Keep walking though. I'm not far behind.

You got it lol. I'm ok though, walking helps oddly. It's tender where they made the incisions. This is normal. Feels like I had the workout of my life lol


Lawdy.

i was in a similar position. the day after i was wearing shorts and a tshirt and walking around and felt pretty good. By the end of the day i realized the injections they put in my abdomen for pain had filtered out, and the IV was drugs were out, and then it really hit me. Did quite a bit of napping for two days after that. Slept for about 12 hours a day. THen after 4 days felt much better.

Ha. That's what happened to me. I was on fentanyl and felt GREAT. Yeah let's go jogging. Woohoo. That wore off and I was oh so sore. Day 5 and much better. Each day truly got a bit better I haven't had pain meds for a few days and it's ok.
